Scythrop, attending one day the summons to dinner, found in the drawing-room his friend Mr Cypress1 the poet, whom he had known at college, and who was a great favourite of Mr Glowry. Mr Cypress said, he was on the point of leaving England, but could not think of doing so without a farewell-look at Nightmare Abbey and his respected friends, the moody2 Mr Glowry and the mysterious Mr Scythrop, the sublime3 Mr Flosky and the pathetic Mr Listless; to all of whom, and the morbid4 hospitality of the melancholy5 dwelling6 in which they were then assembled, he assured them he should always look back with as much affection as his lacerated spirit could feel for any thing. The sympathetic condolence of their respective replies was cut short by Raven’s announcement of ‘dinner on table.’
The conversation that took place when the wine was in circulation, and the ladies were withdrawn7, we shall report with our usual scrupulous8 fidelity9.
MR GLOWRY You are leaving England, Mr Cypress. There is a delightful10 melancholy in saying farewell to an old acquaintance, when the chances are twenty to one against ever meeting again. A smiling bumper11 to a sad parting, and let us all be unhappy together.
MR CYPRESS (filling a bumper) This is the only social habit that the disappointed spirit never unlearns.
THE REVEREND MR LARYNX (filling) It is the only piece of academical learning that the finished educatee retains.
